In this capacity, the Gottex group provides multi-asset endowment-style investment products, multi-manager hedge fund solutions (including market-independent comingled portfolios) and sector-specific single investor vehicles, as well as a selection of Asian-focused funds to a global and diversified institutional and retail clientele.

With offices in Guernsey, Lausanne, London, Hong Kong, New York, Boston, Luxembourg, and Zurich and affiliates in Shanghai, Melbourne, Tokyo and Auckland, the Gottex group is present on four continents with over 40 dedicated investment professionals on the ground.

On December 16, 2013, Gottex announced an agreement with EIM Group, a Swiss-based Alternative Investment Manager, of the proposed merger of their businesses, to establish a leading global investment manager with a deep and diverse range of alternative investment solutions. At the time of writing, this deal is subject to regulatory approval, and acceptance by shareholders of Gottex Fund Management Holdings. As at 31 December 2013, Gottex and EIM had USD 8.1 billion of total client assets.

Poor fund performance, driven down by the global market volatility in the third quarter, and the loss of an advisory mandate, have pushed assets down at Gottex Fund Management, according to its latest trading statement.
